I got an opportunity to review Pine Bros. Softish Throat Drops. I got a large sample of both products they have available. My favorite was the Natural Honey. My husband loved the Wild Cherry Flavor.

They are different than normal Throat Drops. For one there is no camphor. But the biggest change for me was that they are soft not hard. It's like the gel coating on medications. The flavor filled drop slowly melts away on your tongue and releases the yummy flavor.

Notice there are two different packages. The one simply twists open and is great for storing in your purse. You can also refill this with the bagged packages.

Ulysses S. Grant was President, the population of America hovered at 39 million, and the telephone was still a pipe dream, when in 1870 J. Herman Pine hung out a confectionery shingle on 8th Street above Walnut in Philadelphia and, along with his brother, sold their first batch of what they called 'Pine Brothers Glycerine Tablets.' In an attempt to relieve his own sore throat and those of his family members, Mr. Pine, a former German confectionery maker, determined that by combining the soothing natural qualities of glycerin with the healing properties of gum acacia, he could sooth and mitigate the mild discomfort of a sore throat. Add in some natural flavoring and a sweetener and voila, Pine Brothers Softish Throat Drops were born.

Recently, Pine Brothers was acquired by the creator and former owner of Airborne, Victoria Knight-McDowell, for her new company 3 Sisters Home Products™. Much time and effort has been spent locating the original Pine Brothers recipes, redesigning the packaging, and creating an exciting yet classic new look.

Pine Bros Softish Throat Drops are available nationwide at CVS Pharmacy or you can order online.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
